How I Recreate It in Under 15 Minutes
Start with a hydrating primer, then apply a thin layer of foundation with a damp sponge.
Build coverage only where you need it.
Set with a light dusting of powder, then blend a cream blush on the apples of your cheeks and sweep a subtle highlighter along the top of your cheekbones and brow bone.
For the eyes, keep it simple: a wash of taupe or soft bronze on the lid, a thin line of brown gel liner.
And two coats of lengthening mascara.
Finish with a tinted balm or a matte lipstick that you blot once for a lived-in, kissable look.
